Born in Xi'an, the capital city of northwestern China's Shaanxi, Allen Su had always been an excellent student since childhood. When he was 17 years old, his parents sent him to Sydney to pursue his study.

Allen came back to China to take part in the 2007 Super Boy contest with the simple thought of meeting people who could introduce him to record companies to help start his career, after the contest he went back to Sydney to finish his study, and achieved the Bachelor of Digital Media in 2008.
Biography
Early life
Allen Su was born in a well-off family, his talent in arts was inherited from his mother, Miao Ni Ya, who worked in Shaanxi Normal University after her graduation. Although Ms Miao was not a specialist in arts, dancing and singing were among her many accomplishments. According to Ms Miao, Allen had learned piano for several months in his childhood and his tutor appreciated his talent, but he ended his courses for little Allen was too restless to sit by the piano for hours, at that time he enjoyed playing football instead of the piano.Allen appeared independent, quick-mind and persistent since very young. Being active in various sports and arts, he was also an excellent student and managed to go to one of the best senior high schools in ShaanXi Province: Xi'an Middle School, his scores always ranked top of his grade. Of course Allen Su is not a typical bookish person as you might think of, among his wide range of interests, painting, ballgames and singing are the most significant brilliance, he used to dream of becoming a painter or a football player.
At the age of 17, Allen decided to study abroad, he went to Sydney all by his own to pursue his future. As most young boys, he didn't figure out what he really wished to do at first, so he followed his family's will to study business. Soon he found out business couldn't be his career, so he decisively transferred from Macquarie University to SAE College Sydney.
Life is tough, especially for a young boy living abroad alone, but he is the last one in the world to say "give up". Just as his name Allen--which was named after his idol Allen Iverson—suggests, it implies a great spirit of tenacity. Although his family could afford the tuition, he decided to work his way through college, he even took several part jobs at a time to lighten the burden of his family.
During the seven years in Australia, Allen had a small 4-person band with his close friends, and engaged in a couple of local singing contests.
